# Ingredient List:
→ Chicken
01 - 2.5 lbs chicken wings, split at joints, tips removed
02 - 1 teaspoon salt
03 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
→ Guava BBQ Glaze
05 - 0.5 cup guava paste or guava jelly
06 - 0.5 cup BBQ sauce, gluten-free optional
07 - 2 tablespoons honey
08 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
09 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce, gluten-free optional
10 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
11 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
12 - 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and position a wire rack on top.
02 - Pat wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with salt, black pepper, and vegetable oil until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange wings in a single layer on the prepared rack. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
04 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine guava paste, BBQ sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Whisk continuously until guava dissolves and glaze reaches smooth consistency, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
05 - Transfer roasted wings to a large bowl. Pour half of the prepared glaze over wings and toss thoroughly to coat all pieces.
06 - Return coated wings to the rack and broil for 2 to 3 minutes until glaze caramelizes and darkens slightly.
07 - Transfer wings to serving dish. Toss with remaining glaze and serve immediately while hot. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions if desired.
